 2023 Annual Events

We will have a mix of zoom and in-person meetings. In-person events are TENTATIVE. Once we are able to safely meet in person again, the following general information will apply again with the eventual goal of a hybrid offering of both in-person and zoom meetings.

Non-members are welcome to attend up to three of our in-person meetings before deciding whether to continue attending by joining JASNA.
 
To RSVP, or for more information about the reading group, please e-mail our Regional Co-Coordinator, Linda Olson, at [email protected]. Also, if possible, bring something for the tea table.
 
The reading group meets five times each year: January, March, July, September, and November. Regular meetings (left column) are held at 1:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of the month, unless otherwise noted. There is an additional Spring Tea held in May, and this year we hope to hold an additional special event (right column). We look forward to seeing you!
